“It’s a true honor to be in the same category as those players who helped shape the game and pushed the game forward,” Durant said. “That’s always been my goal to get the most out of myself every day, get the most out of my career. To be mentioned with those guys, I must be doing something right.”

Durant is a four-time NBA scoring champion and remains one of the league’s elite sH๏τmakers in his 17th NBA season.
